Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great defense against termites because they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there’s a gap in the chemical, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may discover these gaps and gain ingress.

The often frequently utilised chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of as much as five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. As a result, they do not avoid the treated places, and thus are killed after they have exposure to them. In addition, individual termites will transfer these chemicals to other colony members, creating a flow on effect.

Because termites do not detect non repellents, they don’t recognise the difference between untreated and treated places, and thus access through possible gaps is restricted.

The common used non repellent is Fipronil which has a residual life span of as much as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems can be used to eliminate termites from buildings by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed white ant activity. In this way, the entire nest can be elimited even if its location isn’t known.

An In-Ground System is utilised in a similar manner, but they’re generally installed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a termite problem. Systems such as these are especially useful when the construction of the house can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they breach the boundary.
